Fostering Crisis in Canada
There is a current crisis for Muslim children taken into care in Canada and specifically Nova Scotia- they need your help now!
Why is there a crisis of foster families in Nova Scotia?
There are many reasons that have led to the foster crisis in Canada. There is a large strain on the system due to an increase of Muslim children who require foster care and there not being enough Muslim families in NS. Additionally, the lack of awareness plays a large role as many people are not aware of the ongoing needs for foster families as well as the process of applying to become a foster parent/family.
